At a recent solar energy trade show, the first thing anyone would note is that solar cells are cheaper than ever before. Perhaps second, is that solar vendors had all sorts of solar panels. There were ...

A vacuum-based process could make solar cells faster and cheaper to produce while delivering efficiency on surfaces used in ...

Researchers at NTU Singapore have developed ultra-thin perovskite solar cells about 50 times thinner than conventional designs using a vacuum-based thermal evaporation process. The devices can be semi ...

Perovskite solar cells are among the most promising technologies for making solar power cheaper and more efficient. Working with partners from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), DESY ...

A team of scientists in China has developed a targeted passivation technique that significantly ...

According to the report’s authors, LECO is now used in the production of around one-quarter of TOPCon cells. Image: Trina Solar. A new study has found that the laser-enhanced contact optimisation ...

Discover how scientists created ultra-thin solar cells that blend into glass, transforming skyscrapers into silent power ...

Imagine a car whose windows and sunroof can help top up its battery while parked under the sun, or a pair of smart glasses whose lenses can harvest light to power built-in electronics.

One of the hindrances to large-scale solar adoption, especially in cities, is where to install the chunky panels. Rooftops?

The government’s domestic sourcing mandate is aimed at reducing dependence on imports. But it may also squeeze smaller ...
